Dr. Thibault Derrien, a research fellow from the HiLASE Centre, has been granted a prestigious individual Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship from the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Commission. Entitled “Quantum Effects in Multicolor Ultrafast Laser Processing: Broadening Boundaries of Classical Descriptions” (QuantumLaP), this project is aimed at investigations of the interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with semiconductor materials on a principally new level by taking into account quantum effects that can emerge in highly-excited non-equilibrium matter.
